Inspired Interiors

January 25, 2017

I’m back from an incredible time in Las Vegas celebrating a friend’s Bachelorette and attending the Las Vegas Market, the largest Interior Design Show in North America. To say I’m buzzing with ideas and inspiration after seeing designers from the industry is an understatement! I can’t wait to share more from the Market in the coming weeks, but until then, I’ll offer you this dose of inspiration with an amazing addition to my Inspired Interiors series. This home designed by House of Jade is what home goals and dreams are made of. Bold colours, rich patterns and wallpaper in nearly every room, these are designers after my own heart. Enjoy!

Prosecco Cake

January 19, 2017

Call me crazy, but I prefer to ring in the New Year quietly. Ideally at home, with a few friends, a partner (should there be one in my life at the time) or even, alone. No crazy parties, loud music or making small talk for me. Calm, quiet and intentional.

Why am I talking about New Years Eve nearly half way through January? Because I’ve got celebration and cake on my mind!

I’m getting ready to head down to Las Vegas to celebrate my girlfriend’s bachelorette, a weekend I planned and have been anxiously awaiting to see come together. Truth be told, I feel far too old to be planning a bachelorette, much less in Las Vegas! But alas, that’s where I find myself. While there will be much more on the bachelorette to come on the blog, for today, I’m sharing this delicious and might I say gorgeous Prosecco Cake.

Pantone Colour of the Year 2017

January 17, 2017

A few weeks ago Pantone announced it’s Colour of the Year for 2017, Greenery, to mixed reviews. What I love about the colour of the year announcement is the incredible thought that goes behind each year’s choice and how it opens us to consider colours we would have written off. I must admit when I first saw this year’s choice, I thought there was no way I could see myself incorporating it into a space, but as the colour has started to emerge in fashion and home decor, I have to say I’m warming up to it.
